Thanks so much as always!!! Was working on my parking brakes , moved the calipers then my hard line just snapped. Most likely moving back and forth did it🤦♂️. Glad I can watch your repairs/replacements. Please keep posting very informative vlogs

Here's a trick, if you put something like a jack stand so it lightly presses the brake pedal, it closes off a valve in the master cylinder (or something) and greatly minimizes the amount of drip you get when changing the brake lines.

If you put a tripled sheet of cling film on the MC & secure with the screw lid it stops the fluid pissing out ;-) ... You can also use the rubber bleed nipple on the hardline flare...

Just trying to fit SS lines to my '06 Cayman & the 10mm hardline nut on mine is seized solid... Rounded off the fookin flats too trying all sorts to get it to free up! :-/

Did you use any crush washers? I’m asking cos my lines did not come with them, but the instructions on the box says to use them.

+Tom Baverstock no, since I haven’t tracked the car. That’s when you would feel it... with prolonged hard breaking the line won’t expand at all to feel soft or even break if it wears out.

@@HelpMeDIY yeah I'm swapping out pads and fluid after my track day at Anglesey last week. OEM was fine until the weather improved and things got hot. Going for Ferodo DS2500 pads, Castrol SRF fluid and SS hoses. Only options after that is fitting big brake kits which gets expensive : /

Looks like you didn’t really needed to disconnect the hard line from the caliper .

@@HelpMeDIY just to let you know, you just cost me $150. :) i just finished installing new pads and rotors on my 996. i will wait for the new lines i've just ordered before i proceed with the bleeding. we don't have much to do anyways. thanks for the great video. i love it when people show their "mistakes" or "failures", so other can learn from it (unlike some youtubers that makes everything look like its a walk in the park). i also ordered a high quality 10mm flare wrench.
